Susan Robertson grew up outside of Washington D.C., but now lives in Ottawa. Despite this penchant for national capitals, she has never held public office. Her work has appeared in Vallum, Descant, and Natural Bridge. More work will be appearing soon in Cinquefoil, an anthology of five Ottawa poets due from Mosaic Press this fall.
